P2X2 receptor subunit interfaces are missense variant hotspots where mutations tend to increase apparent ATP affinity

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background and Purpose</h4> P2X receptors (P2XRs) are trimeric ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) that open a cation-selective pore in response to ATP binding to their large extracellular domain (ECD). The seven known P2XR subtypes can assemble as homo- or heterotrimeric complexes and contribute to numerous physiological functions, including nociception, inflammation and hearing. The overall...
